Seeing kids who fled conflict zones breaks my heart! As a Peacebuilder, personally I always suggest we need to pay attention and focus on long term violence prevention plans PVE, traumatized kids are priority. #dogood

Yanar Mohammed, a leading Iraqi feminist and co‑founder of the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated outside her home in Baghdad on March 2, 2026.

For more than two decades, Yanar was one of Iraq’s most courageous advocates for women’s rights.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

“As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.”

Let us be inspired by #NelsonMandela’s message that each of us can promote peace, human rights, harmony with nature & dignity for all.

Earlier this morning a "drone was seen in the skies over Gwer in the Erbil border area, and it is unknown where it was headed." - AVA

[U.S. Consulate General Erbil @USCGERBIL]

The United States condemns the recent drone attacks throughout Iraq, including the July 14 and July 15 drone attacks on critical infrastructure at the Khormala and Sarsang oil fields in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. The Government of Iraq must exercise its authority to prevent armed actors from launching these attacks against sites within its own territory, including locations where Iraqi and international companies have invested in Iraq's future. These attacks are unacceptable, undermine Iraq's sovereignty, and hurt Iraq's efforts to attract foreign investment. We urge the Government of Iraq to investigate who is behind these attacks and hold them accountable.

Jordan: The U.S. Embassy has indications there may be missiles, drones, or rockets flying over Jordanian airspace. Please maintain maximum awareness and, in the event of such an incident, seek overhead cover and shelter in place until further notice. Remain indoors and do not expose yourself to falling debris. Due to high tensions in the region, the security environment remains complex and can change quickly. We remind U.S. citizens of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments. The U.S. Embassy in Jordan will continue to review the situation and provide additional information as needed. More: https://t.co/dKpC4dZ9zK
